Attachment to Linknet

Being a fourth year student at UNZA studying Electronics and Telecomunications engineering,it is a minimum requirement that i do fourteen weeks of industrial training.This actually involves bridging the gap between the theory learnt at school and what is applicable on the ground.Since The University uses a semester system,there is hardly any other time for such apart from the vacations.This means that as a student in the School of Engineering the last three years are dedicated to academic work. UNZA particuraly the School of Engineering does't look for places in companies were students can be placed for such experience.That is to say no student can blame the University for not having a minimum of fourteen weeks of industrial feel of their career.Thus, no 14 weeks of training no graduating. This becomes an issue for students because a mere application from a student does very little to persuade companies to concider you for attachment placement. However, a few companies and organisations who mean well to the students and society at large come forth through the school of engineering offering places for students to be trained . This time Linknet was one of them.It requested for six students and i was fortunetly part of them.Consequently,i wish to commend Linknet for the good gesture it has shown to UNZA. On our attachment, we were to work on a project which was to come from topics such as:the use of linksys+directional antennae for WAB,Research on wireless units and future radios,A simple solar panel project with supplies available only in Choma,To discover and document the network topology for Linknet in Macha. This was to be done within a period of one month with food and accomodation provided by Linknet.After carrying out a fisibility study i beleive, Linknet proposed that we do the last option of the listed topics.This was the minimum thing to be done because there were lots of things to learnt in and outside technical circles.
